Losers for Lent
Recipe--Cream Cheese Pancakes
Here is one that my whole family enjoys! With approximately 13 carbs for the whole recipe, it is a keeper!
Cream Cheese Pancakes
8 oz cream cheese, softened (6.4 carbs)
3 eggs (1.8 carbs)
2 T protein powder (.7 g carbs, depends on brand) (can sub Atkins type bake mix)
2 t imitation vanilla (.2 g carbs)
3-4 packets of AS (3-4 g carbs)
Whip the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the remaining ingredients slowly. Put a little oil or butter on griddle and heat it up, pour in the batter and fry up like pancakes! You want the pancakes to be full of dry holes before you flip 'em. If they're not ready to flip, they'll break apart. Top with butter and DaVinci pancake syrup, or cream cheese and sugar free jam and enjoy!
* Make sure to calculate any carbs from toppings. The protein powder can be any type or flavor- vanilla for plain, chocolate for a light chocolate flavor, strawberry etc. As you move up the carb ladder try it with a couple spoonfuls of blueberries. (If using frozen, thaw and drain well.)
